| | Henry James - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | James is one of the major figures of trans-Atlantic literature. | | | James presents their relationship with sympathy and insight, and the story reaches what some have considered the status of classical tragedy. | | | From an early age James read, criticized and learned from the classics of English, American, French, Italian, German and (in translation) Russian literature. |

| | JAMES HENRY - LoveToKnow Article on JAMES HENRY |
| | Henry was also the author of several poems, some of them descriptive accounts of his travels, and of various pamphlets of a satirical nature. | | | His notes, written in a racy and interesting style, are especially valuable for their wealth of illustration and references to the less-known classical authors. | | | These were embodied, with alterations and additions, in the Aeneidea, or Critical, Exegetical and Aesthetical Remarks on the Aeneis (1873-1892), of which only the notes on the first book were published during the authors lifetime. |

| | GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Biography of Henry James |
| | Henry James, Sr., had been a praised by the Society for Psychical Research for his observations of spirit phenomena. | | | James's interest in ghosts, which would resurface in The Turn of the Screw, was apparent in his 1868 story, "The Romance of Certain Old Clothes," in which a man's second wife is killed by the ghost of his first wife. | | | The subject matter of The Turn of the Screw stems from a nineteenth-century fascination with ghosts, with which James was quite familiar. |

| | Henry James |
| | James is best known for his formulation of the philosophy of pragmatism, according to which truth is relative and best measured by the extent to which it serves human freedom. | | | Between 1906 and 1910 James revised many of his tales and novels for the so-called New York Edition of his complete works. | | | James knew exactly what he wanted, he pursued the narrow path of aesthetic duty, and success to the full extent of his possibilities has crowned him. |

| | William James - Biography, Chronology, and Photographs |
| | For James, pragmatism tempered empiricism with humanism; the observer, the thinker, the seeker after truth, was necessarily implicated in the process of inquiry and experimentation. | | | James tried to convince himself that the criticism really indicated the significance of his work. | | | Henry understood immediately that his brother needed praise and more praise. |

| | Henry James |
| | Having completed every novel he would ever write, he was, theoretically at least, in full possession of his character as a great novelist and therefore able to impose the pattern of this fate on his personal history as a small boy. | | | He declares it was "preordained" that "nature and fortune" dealt him only an imagination and sensibility as his only faculty of application (10). | | | In his preface to Portrait of a Lady (New York Edition) James commends Turgenev's method of first inventing a character which subsequently offered that character's fate (4). |

| | Henry James (1843-1916) |
| | The preface that James wrote for "Daisy Miller" in the New York edition is illuminating but must be used with care. | | | When Daisy looks at Winterbourne and boasts of having had "a great deal of gentleman's society," she doesn't know (though Winterbourne and James do) that she is coming on precisely as a courtesan would. | | | Many valuable comparisons can be drawn between "Daisy Miller" and "The Beast in the Jungle." Both stories tell of an aborted romance in which the man distances himself emotionally until it is too late. |

| | The reason why that they have not all done justice to the writer is perhaps that the detail of James's writing is so minute and subtle, or as Eliot put it so rudely, "Henry James had a sensibility so fine, no mere idea could ever penetrate it"! | | | Henry James was born in New York City, the son of a distinguished father of the same name who wrote about theology and philosophy and the younger brother of William James, one of the foremost philosophers of his day. | | | Given his novels' perspective, however, he remains a strangely trans-Atlantic figure very much in the sense that T.S. Eliot is. This has doubtless influenced Hollywood's near obsession with his works in the 1990s, since he represents the very mixture of European culture and American attitudes that filmmakers wish to convey. |
